THERE'S A FLAW IN MY FLUE
Lyrics by Jimmy Van Heusen/Music by Johnny Burke
Arranged by Nelson Riddle

Frank Sinatra with the Hollywood String Quartet 


I used to sit by my fireplace
And dream about you,
But now that won't do.
There's a flaw in my flue.

Your lovely face in my fireplace
Was all that I saw,
But now it won't draw 
'Cause my flue has a flaw.

>From every beautiful ember, a memory arose.
Now I try to remember,
And smoke gets in my nose.
It's not as sweet by the unit-heat
To dream about you,
So darling, adieu.
There's a flaw in my flue.
